The global corn fiber gum market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.06% from 2018 to 2028. The CGF I segment will continue driving the demand for this product owing to its extensive applications such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and stationery. North America will remain dominant in the corn fiber gum market during the forecast period due to high consumption rates of chewing gums in this region followed by Europe and Asia Pacific & Middle East & Africa regions respectively.
Corn fiber gum is an edible composite material made of corn and sugar. It is a type of chewing gum in which corn fibers are mixed with sugar and flavorings. In addition to being a chewing gum, it has many other potential applications such as food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, stationery items, etc. Corn Fiber Gum I (CGFI) is the major product in this category which can be obtained by combining two different sugars with various percentages of corn starch or glucose syrup under certain conditions.
Corn fiber gums have been around for centuries, but they’ve seen an uptick in popularity recently thanks to their natural ingredients that make them less harmful than regular chewing gums when used excessively. Corn fiber has also been shown to be beneficial for heart health and to help improve digestive systems.
On the basis of type, corn fiber gum is segmented into two types, CGF I and CGF II.
CGF I is also known as corn fiber gum-I. It comes with high viscosity and low water solubility, which are both beneficial for food use purposes. However, it has a higher production cost than CGF II type of corn fiber gum due to the processing stages involved in its manufacturing process. The two types differ only by carbonization level, one being more processed than the other. In addition to the aforementioned, CGF I can also be used in pharmaceuticals and personal care as a thickener or emulsifier.
Corn Fiber Gum II is prebiotic that naturally occurs in the corn plant. It is also an insoluble fiber, which means it can’t be broken down by human enzymes and passes through the gut unaltered. Unlike other soluble fibers, such as pectin or psyllium husk gum, CGF II cannot dissolve into water to form gels but instead absorbs moisture from food products during chewing giving them a crisp texture and natural sweetness. This product has been added to many foods including crackers, bread, cookies, cereals, and ice cream for its functionality of making these items more palatable while adding dietary benefits like digestive health promotion and protection against constipation.
On the basis of application, the global corn fiber gum market is segmented into food and beverages, personal care, pharmaceuticals, stationery items, etc.,
it is widely used in food and beverage as an ingredient for dough conditioners or preservatives which are used in baking bread, pastries, biscuits, etc. It also acts as a thickening agent for sauces; improves mouthfeel and has high water binding capacity that helps retain moisture in baked products making them chewy too.
Corn fiber gum has been reported to be most commonly used as a thickener in food items such as mayonnaise that do not contain any artificial additives or preservatives which can affect its performance on account of its high solubility levels. Corn fiber gums have also found applications in other food products like yogurt or buttermilk where they are added at low concentrations (0- 0.01%) to function primarily as stabilizers or emulsifiers to prevent separation of the product constituents during storage periods over extended lengths of time.
In personal care application it features high water binding capacity that helps retain moisture in skin moisturizers, thereby increasing the duration of their effects; improves mouthfeel for lipsticks by forming a film on lips which has excellent adhesion properties; contributes to product viscosity and stability-provides thickening agent for shampoos & conditioners by absorbing liquid from raw materials. It can be added into bath products because they provide slip when wet and help make soap lather more easily due to its ability to absorb the greasy substances present in soaps.
In pharmaceutical application it is primarily used as bulk diluent agents due to their ability to absorb liquid from raw materials, thereby reducing the particle size. Corn fiber gum acts as an excipient in tablet formulations and is also used to replace cellulose or other bulk agents.
Corn fiber gum is used to make stationery products such as binders, paper pads, and notebooks. The major application of corn fiber gum in this industry is for the manufacture of non-woven fabric sheets which can be laminated with polyethylene or other material that produces a hard surface. This form of corncob high-density filler pulp has been reported by numerous sources to have good physical properties, including strength and rigidity due to its nature as a natural product that does not contain any artificial chemicals.
On the basis of region, the global corn fiber gum market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is the highest revenue-generating region for corn fiber gum followed by Europe and then the Asia Pacific.
North America led with highest market share followed by Europe. Latin America is expected to register the fastest growth owing to the rising focus on digestive health promotion among people residing there. By 2020, the North American corn fiber gum market is projected to grow at CAGR 16% from 2017-2020 while the European corn fiber gum market will be witnessing decline during this period.
Asia Pacific corn fiber gum market will be witnessing significant growth, in terms of volume, Asia Pacific has seen high demand because it constitutes an important source for raw materials like dextrose (glucose) which can be used for corn fiber gum production
Growth Factors
growth drivers are rising health awareness and consumers' preference for natural ingredients in various products. Also, the growing population of geriatric people is increasing the demand for chewing gum since it can help to improve oral hygiene and reduce tooth loss. Growing awareness about fiber in food products is the main growth factor for the corn gum market. Growing demand from the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry along with rising disposable income levels are also expected to contribute towards this sector's growth over the coming years.
